Expert Details
Chemical Reactor Design & Control
ID: 108057
Texas, USA
Expert has significant experience in the design and control of highly exothermic reactions and how to avoid reactor runaway, minimize parametric sensitivity, and avoid transient temperature excursions such as wrong-way behavior. He has served as a consultant to several major corporations on this subject and has experience as an expert witness.
Expert has conducted research and consulted with several companies on how to optimize the performance of a catalyst by the proper choice of pore size and porosity.
